May 2, 1808

Spanish War of Independence

"...The second day of May, people in Madrid celebrate their rising up in rebellion against French occupation on, 1808; that time, it took Marechal Murat many hours and several full-scale charges from the Guard and mameluk cavalry to crush the revolt, with the loss of some 150 French soldiers slain. The next day, immortalized by Goya as The Third of May 1808, the French army shot 5,000 Madrid citizens in retaliation. :(

Reprisals of this kind were repeated in other cities and continued for days, with no effect but to strengthen the resistance; soon afterwards, all of Spain exploded in a bloody guerilla, declaring war on Napoleon at the height of his greatness. Within weeks, every Spanish province had done the same. Napoleon, unwillingly, had provoked a total war against the Spaniards, a mistake from which the French Empire would never truly recover..."

Your coloring style seems to always look nice with any kind of lineart...and your coloring is always nice to look at ;P i really like how the shorts and hair came out :D

hmm...the only thing that really bugs me is some of the lighting in the picture. your very bright lights (the white) seem to mostly be on the left side of the pic, which is fine, but there's alot of it on the right. i know the whole idea of reflected light on round object, but i dunno. something seems a little off :o

Jajaja,querisa navegar por tu galeria para ver si habias colgaod alguna cosa nueva y me encuentro con esta ilustracion diciendo que la has colgado hace 59 segundos,xD.Ya ves.

Lastima que los acontecimientos historicos de los que nos acordamos son de los mas amargos...Pero en fin es algo que paso y que esperemos no se vuelva a repetir porque para eso sirve aprender historia :P

En cuanto a la propia imagen,no te lo he comentaod pero me gusta tu fursona,muy identificativa con la nacionalidad.La imagen estara hecha con un poquillo de prisa por la postura y tal pero lo innegable es que coloreas de la leche,hace bastante que no uso este coloreado :P

Impia tortorum longos hic turba furores
Sanguinis innocui, non satiata, aluit.
Sospite nunc patria, fracto nunc funeris antro,
Mors ubi dira fuit vita salusque patent.
